McCloud's an interesting surname because I think it's originally of scottish descent but if you were going for the Irish angle it would translate to like Mac Leoid as in "Mac" generally translates to son of and the surname being "Leod" in the same way that Ó Domhnall would be son OF Donal when translated back to english

Bealtaine is May right? If I recall it was like Eanáir, Feabhra, Martá/Mairt, Aibreán, Luil, Lunasa, Mean Fomhair, Deireadh Fomhair, Samhain agus Mí na Nollaig/Nollag

The location was chosen on purpose, they did want to live in somewhere secluded anyway. Most of the stuff from the story is actually taken from the movie Fatal Deviation, including the location. I mean... if you ever watched it, it sounds like the sort of place a family that is used to living out of wild animals and stuff could live in.

McCloud is technically a made-up name. I wanted to keep the explanation for the future, but the idea is that they just sort of came up with the name on the spot in order to pretend they're not totally just a bunch of foreigners of questionable behaviour. I actually took it from the main character from StarFox. Additionally, it's kind of a nod to the online comic Dr. McNinja, who was also supposed to be of Irish descent. I honestly didn't write this with a serious character in mind, but rather a quirky kid that did bring some baggage from his relatives.

From what I could gather after a Google search, Bealtaine is in May, yes.

Thanks! It was either that or A Formidable (Irish) Opponent Awaits.
